Growing up I loved reading about the latest space poo poo and what cool new bit was being added to the ISS or what planet we were visiting next or whatever.

Now I basically can't ever read about anything space-related because 95% of it is elong or one of these fucks and it just massively bums me out.

My son is big into space stuff, but is too young to know about these guys, thank god. I don't know what I'll do if he starts talking about Elon in glowing terms. He's kind of contrary though, so maybe he'll dodge it.

And yes I know even before them quite a lot of space poo poo was just huge boondoggles to shovel money into the pockets of defense contractors and the ISS only existed to give the shuttle something to do etc etc but at least then there was some veneer of respectability and lofty, positive goals and it actually did help move science along.

Meanwhile now NASA's renting out one of the launch pads that took us to the loving moon to host Elong and Jeffy's Rich Guy Money Pissing Contest

While whitey's on the moon

The man just upped my rent last night
Cause whitey's on the moon

No hot water, no toilets, no lights
But whitey's on the moon

I wonder why he's upping me?
Cause whitey's on the moon?

Well I was already giving him fifty a week
With whitey on the moon

Taxes taking my whole drat check
Junkies making me a nervous wreck
The price of food is going up
And as if all that poo poo wasn't enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell
With whitey on the moon

Her face and arm began to swell
And whitey's on the moon

Was all that money I made last year
For whitey on the moon?

How come I ain't got no money here?
Hmm! Whitey's on the moon

I think I'll send these doctor bills

Yeah but then they become a martyr of capitalist space and get middle schools named after them and poo poo, idk. I've thought about this probably more than I should and I think the best result would be if the rocket fails but the launch abort system "saves" them, because the launch abort rockets firing will crush you with like 25+ g's and while you'll probably live through that you'll also probably be crippled for life.

Schadenfreudewise, that makes a lot of sense, but really, nothing a billionaire does requires a working body. What I'm saying is that Elon would be trying to make a cyborg body whilst tweeting even harder.

One might also argue that the metaphorical dickwaving of the space race was better than a more military alternative, like shooting rockets around the world.

I have a friend who's body has been sacrificed to capitalism and he has a myriad of long term injuries and what could effectively be called PTSD about human interaction from so much service industry work. He tells me he feels worthless and guilty for signing up for gov't assistance. It's very sad what our work culture and propaganda does to people long-term.

One of my old bosses was American and they tried to investigate people calling in sick, like demanding to know exact symptoms and dramatically sighing if somebody was too lazy to come in even for a couple of hours. Then they browbeat someone into coming in and oops they had appendicitis and they weren't in charge of dealing with sick days anymore

I mean those are the dumb ones NASA compiles to try to sell congressmen on why they shouldn't have funding cut yet again, because those were spun off into ~successful private business ventures~ that ~create jobs~ and poo poo, but yeah the actually important stuff is weather satellites, GPS, the COSPAS-SARSAT system, etc.
